This body portion is enlarged at 6 to form a fiat channeled portion 7 havmg the overhanging walls 8 along three side-s, the fourth side of said channel being open at 9, so that a picture may be slipped thereinto, when the lidor cover lOvis in open position. This lid or cover comprises a rectangular framework 11, which carries a glass panel 12. A downturned rib 13 of the frame 1l is hinged at 14 to the body portion 6 of the ring and forms a closure for the fourth or open side of the channel recess 7,
